Laura Kidder

New York-based Laura Kidder has been a travel editor for close to 20 years. During that time she’s covered much of the United States, all of the Caribbean and Latin America, and countless destinations in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Road travel runs in her family: her parents are avid RVers, her husband is a truck driver, and her in-laws are Harley enthusiasts. Laura’s most memorable road trips include soothing jaunts across the Irish midlands; a 40-odd-hour bus journey from Concord, NH, to New Orleans, LA; and a seemingly endless climb (and descent) in a minivan on S-curve, one-lane, gravel roads–without any guardrails–in the Spanish Pyrenees.
